¶ … Mozart: Sonata for Piano in C major, K 545
Classical sonata: Mozart's Sonata for Piano in C major, K 545
Track time, melodic and accompaniment writing.
Group
The first section of music sounds bright and sprightly. It sets the melodic line and tone for the rest of the composition. The music begins relatively abruptly: there is little lead-in to the piece of music. The melody dominates the composition. The tone is relatively simple and charming but not excessively ornamented.
Although engaging, the use of repetition is manifested relatively early on in the work. There is a consistent use of similar thematic motifs even in the first minute, which will then be expanded upon later on. This gives the work simplicity, clarity, and ease in the way it is performed: there is nothing overdone or 'fussy' about the quality of the performance.
Transition 1:50
The transition is relatively brief and fleeting, marked only by a slight pause and a flurry of notes. The transition marks a slight coda in the performance, but given the brevity of the work as a whole, too much dramatic emphasis or too much of...
The overall quality is that of a hesitation rather than an abrupt shift.
Group 2: 2:09
The second section is more languorous and subdued, although it makes use of and plays with the melody of the first section. The notes are slightly longer. There is a great deal of similarity between the two sections and within the sections there is continuity of melody although the atmosphere of the music slightly shifts in quality.
Closing 2:31
The closing is a series of repetitive, swift notes that acts as another coda or closing. Rather than slowing down entirely, there is a sense of energy that is maintained throughout the work, including the closing.
Development 3:00
The third section has sections which sound almost ominous in tone. It is much darker and flatter in quality. While it is not more elaborate, it is more melancholy and musing in nature and has a different sensibility than does the previous sections.
Recapitulation: 3:50
The recapitulation similarly makes use of a fast series of notes to bring an end to the proceedings as a kind of 'period' or…
Mozart especially did the trick. Einstein loved Mozart's highly organized, intensely patterned sonatas. He felt, as many before him, that music and the reasoning intellect were linked. Music and his scientific work...were 'born of the same source.'" (Dowd, 2008) a report conducted by the German Ministry of Education in 2007 while failing to uphold music having a long-term influence on intelligence did state findings of a "link between musical
Music on Vocabulary Competence, Writing, Reading Comprehension and Motivation in English Language Learning in High-School EFFECTIVENESS OF MUSIC ON VOCABULARY The Effectiveness of Music on Vocabulary Competence, Writing, Reading Comprehension and Motivation in English Language Learning in High-School Most English language learners in high schools show poor vocabulary competence. The main reason for this is the limited level of exposure to the language. It is generally understood and practically acknowledged that words
In other words each music performance is different and the impulsiveness of each performance confirms the concept of indeterminate music. 6) Describe an Indonesian Gamelan. (Textbook p. 282-283) It said that Debussy, when he heard the Indonesian ensemble called gamelan was surprisingly delighted at its diverse and delicate timbers, and decided to use the elements in the impressionistic sound which he was working at developing. The gamelan, a distinctive Indonesian orchestra consisting
Music is sound, which enters the outer ear and passes through the middle ear into the inner ear and the brain by means of electrical energy. In the brain, it can generate motor responses, draw emotions, release hormones and trigger higher-order processes. The brain develops its response as it perceives the sound. If a loud sound creates fright, calm music can soothe. Records on music therapy date as far back
Perotin's "Viderunt Omnes" My fascination with Perotin's "Viderunt Omnes" -- the aspect of the piece which intrigued me enough to select it for this exercise -- begins and ends with one name -- not that of Perotinus Magnus (as you might suspect) but that of contemporary composer Steve Reich.[footnoteRef:0] My own interest in musical analysis very often involves the question of what composers are doing now. If we approach the aesthetics
Beethoven uses choral voices in his 9th Symphony to produce a sound that no man-made instrument could produce. Beethoven is attempting to achieve the highest and most joyful sound in the final movement of the symphony and so therefore uses human voices to compel the listener to the rapturous heights that he wants them to witness. or what might look at the importance of tone and key. In the 20th
